Good Morning and welcome to Midmorning News. I'm Hun Gert, and today we have a special report for you. We will be interviewing E Quality who is here to tell us about the big issue in our world; world hunger. Once she is done informing us about this, E Quality and her group will be singing their new hit song, Just Imagine. At this time i would like to welcome E Quality.
"hi E Quality".
"Goodmorning".
"so tell us all about world hunger and maybe some ways we can help?"
"Sure! Well, world hunger is a big problem worldwide which is causing many people to die because of such a shortage in food. Many Americans waste over 40% of their food in just one short year which children in other countries like Zimbabwe could be eating and would still be alive. Billions of people are dying each year because they have no food to eat."
"Wow thats amazing. What are some ways that we could help?"
"Well, there's an organization called Bread for the world where people can write letters to Congress and then once a year congress reads those letters and may pass law or donation or do something about the problem to try and decrease world hunger. You can help by writing letters and also by giving donations to certain charities and not being so wasteful.".
"That's really cool! So i understand that you have a song that you will be singing here for us today?"
"yea actually I just released a song called Just Imagine that I'm gonna sing for you guys in a few minutes."
" What inspired you to write this song?"
"Well I was visiting over in Africa i saw all the hunger in the childrens' eyes. You could see their rib cages and it made we want the world to know the true facts about how much we waste."
"Awesome, well why don't you get set up. (pause) Now here's E Quality with her new hit song, Just Imagine".
(clapping)
verse 1) Just imagine, just imagine, just imagine. what it would be like, to only live on less than a dollar a day.
Hey, hey..............hey, hey
Did you know........ that 1 out of four people live only on less than a dollar a day.
(Chorus) Why, Oh Why, does this have to happen in our world?
Every* 3.6 seconds a child* dies of hunger.
Why are so many lives lost, due to our waste
(verse 2) In this world..... we waste so much.
Almost 40% of the food harvested never is consumed
Waste... Can you say Waste. WE WASTE
Can we really be doing this?
While our natural resources are leaving us each day.
(Chorus) Why, Oh Why, does this have to happen in our world?
Every* 3.6 seconds a child* dies of hunger.
Why are so many lives lost, due to our waste
(Verse 3):Animals are important in this world
but are they so important that we can stand to give up 80% as their food
Well people dont have enough to feed their child
and Malnutrion is increasing everyday
(Chorus): Why, Oh Why, does this have to happen in our world?
Every* 3.6 seconds a child* dies of hunger.
Why are so many lives lost, due to our waste
(Verse 4): People are dying
Children are crying
who will listen to their cries
Who will stand and help
(chorus) Why, Oh Why, does this have to happen in our world?
Every* 3.6 seconds a child* dies of hunger.
Why are so many lives lost, due to our waste
(verse 5)All we need is a letter
or simply a donation.
It will help make things a little better,
and help a hunger foundation.
(chorus) Why, Oh Why, does this have to happen in our world?
Every* 3.6 seconds a child* dies of hunger.
Why are so many lives lost, due to our waste
